Yeah let's just say that I'll be reading Flannery O'Connor forever and ever amen. She writes haunting Southern gothic stories with beautiful, complex characters and settings the reader can feel. Most of the stories are bleak and hopeless, yet they are often filled with hope and murmurs of grace. My suggestion is to start with the story "Revelation" from the back of the book so you can get a handle on what O'Connor is doing in her other stories.
